You add some sweetness and flavor afterwards with the cordial. Sorry, I grew up on this stuff and when it comes to food and drinks I like the classics (don't fix it if it's not broken) Cordial or syrup? Can you actually get woodruff stuff here? Haven't come across any and most people don't have the slightest clue what that is. I remember woodruff sherbet and ice cream from when I was a wee lad.

It's been a while Hey, I am thought off, made, born and breed there, I am not a fake like John F. Kennedy, .I don't think you can get it here, actually never looked for it. It took me 35 years to figure out what Waldmeister is. I remember candy, just loved the flavor. Just remember the bottles of the green stuff, I am sure it was called Waldmeister Sirup. I think they stopped making it because the preservatives where highly unhealthy (benzoic acid I think). tried to find some seeds here in Oz to plant in my backyard, no luck so far 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well carbonated & easy to drink. I suspect it is the Coopers Family Secret Amber Ale as I have made it before. Very nice & I would rate this highly, well done mate & thank you. Thank's for the feedback Phil, Glad you liked it. Sadly it's all gone now, will brew again soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think you can buy seeds here. It's not a native species and since we already have enough stuff growing that isn't supposed to be here, I wouldn't be surprised if it is a nono. I didn't think to look for any when I was over there recently but maybe next time I will investigate the syrup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 4 hours ago, Brauhaus Fritz said: I always been drawn to the Island toasted Coconut Porter, how is its mouthfeel and flavor? I tried twice a Bad Sheppard Choc Coconut Brown Ale and found it quiet thin and disappointing. The Batch Big Kahuna Coconut Brown Ale is not bad so The Coopers Island Toasted Coconut Porter was a great beer. My Toasted Coconut Porter is nice but a little thin. It has an ABV of 4.3% compared to the Coopers recipe which is 5.8%. I was after an easier drinking dark beer, which I achieved. It does have a tiny bit of alcohol burn, that immediately disappears as you take a mouthful. It might be that I slightly overdid the coconut toasting. All in all, I strongly recommend the Coopers Island Toasted Coconut Porter. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I think the Admiral would have been proud. Three month in the bottle, one day in the fridge and finished in a whiff. Woodforde's Admiral"s Reserve Kit. Second time I brewed it with the exact same OG, FG and ABV of 5.3% . Always a nice Ale to have in the dungeon 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 This one was a first. Another Woodforde's kit Bure Gold. Cascade and Amarillo hops. And like before, three month in the bottle, one day in the fridge and finished in a whiff. If you order something from Kegland treat yourself to a Woodfordes Or Muntons Craft Range kit for a nice quick brew. My favs are the Nog smooth old Ale and the Black Conckerwood Black Ale. This one here is 4.7% of golden deliciousness. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 First taste of a Guinness AG clone, with 2% lactose for souring. The pour would get it thrown over your head in the Emerald Isle, but I proffered one to SWMBO (who hails from there) and so far she hasn’t knee-capped me, which is nice. The light brown colour of the head is due to the carbonation with CO2, rather then the N2 blend I have for serving. I’m hoping it will get the white head from the N2. I think so anyway… The taste seems about right: I just have to wait until the CO2 dissipates and the N2 kicks in. I wish I had chilled the second 10l keg that I used sour mash in so I could compare. Reckon I’m on to something here… On top of that it started to p*ss down here, first time in 6 weeks, so it seems about right to have to Guinness in the rain 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 First taste of the COOPERS DARK ALE - this is 13 days in the bottle, without the addition of extra Malt, drinking at this age is not normally possible. I know it will get better the longer I leave it but it was only meant to be a fridge filler anyway so I will sneak up on it quietly. It is really nice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keg as well so the bottles to me are purely back up stock. The extra Malt allows you to do this as a Grain addition does but I am trying to focus mainly on AG brewing & kegging. The other thing is at Phil's Bar & Grill, nothing lasts very long around here !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
